The wavelength, w, in meters per cycle, of a musical note is given by

w= r/f

where r is the speed of sound in meters per second and f is the frequency in cycles per second. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/sec. What is the wavelength of a note whose frequency in air is 33 cycles per second? Round to the nearest tenth of a meter per cycle.

.sam. · Answer

just divide
w= r/f
w= 344/33=10.42
